La Audiencia Nacional condena a Francisco Granados a dos años y medio de cárcel por el amaño de decenas de festejos
The Spanish National Court has sentenced Francisco Granados, a former advisor to Madrid regional president Esperanza Aguirre, to two and a half years in prison for orchestrating corruption through the manipulation of public contracts for festive events across the region. Granados used his political influence while serving under Aguirre to ensure that the company Waiter Music, owned by deceased businessman José Luis Huerta, won contracts worth tens of thousands of euros to organize events such as festivals, parades, and Christmas celebrations in municipalities where the Popular Party (PP) held power. In return, Huerta’s company paid for private events hosted by Granados, family gatherings of accused individuals, and even funded electoral campaigns involving prominent figures like Esperanza Aguirre, José María Aznar, and Mariano Rajoy. The court convicted several former mayors and council members from Valdemoro, Ciempozuelos, and Moraleja de Enmedio, including four ex-mayors who received prison terms ranging from two to three years. Notably, some officials were acquitted, including two councilors from Móstoles. The prosecution had initially requested a three-year sentence for Granado
Špansko nacionalno sodišče je Francisco Granadosa, nekdanjega generalnega sekretarja ljudske stranke (PP) v Madridu in nekdanjega svetovalca regionalne vlade pod vodstvom Esperance Aguirre, obsodilo na dve leti in šest mesecev zapora zaradi obtožb, povezanih s korupcijo, v prvem velikem sojenju v primeru Púnica.
To je vrhunec dolgotrajne preiskave, ki se je začela leta 2014 in se je od takrat razdelila na več kot deset linij preiskave.
Granados je bil obtožen skupaj s štirimi nekdanjimi županoma iz PP, ki so bili prav tako spoznani za krive. med njimi so bili José Carlos Boza, nekdanji župan Valdemora, ki je dobil štiri leta zapora, in José Miguel Moreno, María Ángeles Herrera in Carlos Alberto Estrada, vsak pa je dobil dve leti.
Tožilstvo je prvotno zahtevalo šest let zapora za Granadosa, vendar je njegovo zahtevo zmanjšalo na tri leta med sojenjem. Sodniki so upoštevali olajševalni dejavnik neupravičenih zamud pri izvajanju ustnega zaslišanja.
Sodišče je opisalo, kako je korumpirani sistem deloval, da bi zagotovil, da bi Waiter Music ali podjetja, ki jih je nadzoroval Huerta, zagotovili pogodbe. Tako je PP zagotovil dostop do podjetja, ki bi lahko organiziralo festivale in hkrati zagotavljalo dodatne storitve politikom.
Granados je uporabil svoj politični vpliv na območjih, kjer je prej služil kot župan, zlasti v Valdemoru, da bi zagotovil pogodbe v vrednosti več deset tisoč evrov za Waiter Music.
Na seznamu obsojenih posameznikov so vsi župani Valdemora, ki so bili povezani s PP od leta 1999 do leta 2014, ko je bila operacija odkrita.
Sodišče je oprostilo Daniel Ortiz in Estebana Parra, župana mesta Móstoles, ki sta se pojavila na sodišču.
Sodišče se je osredotočilo na primer Waiter Music, ločen del širše preiskave Púnica, ki je preučevala številne manipulirane pogodbe med letoma 2004 in 2015 v korist podjetja, specializiranega za organizacijo dogodkov in festivalov.
Waiter Music se je predvsem ukvarjal z izkoriščanjem gostoljubnosti, umetniškimi in zabavnimi dejavnostmi, zlasti s promocijo in organizacijo spektaklov.
Obsodba poudarja obsežno mrežo vpliva in manipulacije, ki je obstajala v upravi PP v Madridu, ki jo je olajšal tesen odnos med Granadosom in Huerto.

Ocena pristranskosti (Sredina): V članku so predstavljeni sodni postopki in obsodba proti Francisco Granadosu, ne da bi odkrito podprli ali kritizirali katero koli politično ideologijo.
The Spanish Supreme Court has sentenced former Madrid regional government advisor Francisco Granados to two years and six months in prison for involvement in corruption related to the organization of popular festivals in various municipalities within the framework of the 'Púnica case'. The court convicted him of repeated fraud and imposed eight years and six months of special disqualification from holding public office. The ruling highlights Granados' role as a key figure who used his political power and influence to facilitate the system, benefiting from private events funded by businessman José Luis Huertas.
Ocena pristranskosti (Levo): The article frames Granados' actions as part of a systemic abuse of power and emphasizes his role in facilitating corrupt practices through his political influence.
